Jeff let out a laugh.
“You bet Ari, a rematch sounds great. ” Jeff said as they both just stood there and stared at each other.
Just then douche bag Jason hit a spoon on the side of a wine glass. What a fuck head. Ellie walked back up and Ari gave Ellie a questioning look. Ellie just shrugged her shoulders.
“Can I have everyone’s attention please, quiet down please. Arianna baby please come stand next to me. ”
Ellie leaned up and whispered to me…. ”What the hell is this all about? He NEVER calls her baby!” Jeff must have heard Ellie because he snapped his head back over to where Ari was now standing next to Jason.
Jason turned Ari around so she was facing directly in front of us. Next thing I know stepped in front of her and got down on one knee.
“OH SHIT” Ellie and I both said at the same time.
“Arianna my sweet Arianna…. these last few months have been nothing but magical for me. ”
Ari was looking down at this jackass with a shocked look on her face. I wonder if she was more shocked that he was about to ask her to marry him or that he just described their last few months together as being magical. Douche bag. All they ever did was fight!
“It would be my greatest honor if you were to take this ring and say you will marry me. ”
Ari looked up and looked directly at Jeff. She almost had a pleading look in her eyes. Jeff just stood there staring back at her.
“JEFF! Do something, say something for Christ sake!” Ellie whispered.
“Arianna baby I know this might seem sudden but, baby will you be my wife?” Douche bag had to ask her again because she was still staring at Jeff. Oh this was going to be good.
Ari looked down at Jason and then back up at Jeff again.
“I need some fresh air…. . ” Jeff said as he walked towards the front door.
“FUCK!” Ellie and I both said again at the same time. I started to go after him as Ellie pushed me from behind trying to get me to walk faster. I looked over at Ari who now had her eyes closed with a single tear rolling down her cheek. She opened her eyes and looked down at Jason but I never got to hear what she said because Ellie was pushing me out the goddamn front door.
Jeff was throwing up by the BMW that Jon had been leaning against earlier. Damn…. I sure hope that was the assholes car.
“OH MY GOD Jefferson! Are you okay?” Ellie said as she ran over to him.
“What the fuck is wrong with you mother fucking idiot! You just let the best fucking thing that will EVER happen to you go! You just walked away from her you goddamn stupid mother fucker!” I said as Jeff kept throwing up.
“GUNNER! STOP!” Ellie shouted at me.
“Why Ellie? Because he just let the only girl he has ever loved end up with some fucking dick head who is going to end up fucking cheating on her with some country club plastic Barbie? You fucked up again Jeff!”
Jeff was still throwing up and Ellie was just standing there rubbing her hand on his back.
“Shut the fuck up Gunner! You don’t think I know what the fuck just happened. You don’t think I lay in bed every fucking night and pray to God that Ari was mine and that I could turn back the clocks and do it the fucking right way? I’m getting what I fucking deserve. I don’t deserve her, I never have!”
“Jefferson that’s NOT true. Ari loves you…”
Jeff was still leaning with his hands on his knees looking at the ground. He let his head drop even more.
“You mean she used to love me Ellie. She’s marrying another man. ” He threw up again. Then he stood up and looked up as he threw his head back and yelled out.
“FUCKING SON OF A FUCKING BITCH! I just fucking walked away from the only goddamn person I ever loved. ” Then he started to cry as Ellie took him in her arms. I heard a sharp intake of air and turned around to see Ari standing right behind me. How much of that did she hear?
She looked at me as she started to back up, then turned and went into the house. What a fucking mess.
“Gunner I think you should take Jefferson home. ” Ellie said as Jeff stood up and tried to calm down.
Fuck…I started to panic because if I left to take Jeff home that meant Ellie would be left here with Jon.
